Solar positioning systems

The advanced solar positioning systems developed by TERMS have been designed to support and track photovoltaic solar panels in order to follow the actual position of the sun in the sky during the day.

When used in conjunction with the control system and the converter which transforms DC to AC these devices can be used in various applications, especially residential systems, medium and large solar parks, installations on large roofs, parking sites, roofs of production premises, etc.

Control of positioning solar systems
The central astronomic control system for tilting module tables has been developed and manufactured solely by our company. The position of the sun in the sky is computed by the control algorithm according to which the control system is able to set the optimal position of the solar panels towards the sun. Simultaneously, the sensor based information (wind speed, luminous exposure, reference sensors and the current output of the solar power plant) works the protection of the mechanical parts of the tracker structure (by tilting the active surface to minimum resistance) at wind speeds of over 120 kmph. When the photovoltaic panels are covered with a layer of snow, the system will activate its automatic removal. More here.
